Panels to Buy to use with these 3 Power Stations?

Hello,

In a decision which I may come to regret, I recently picked up two additional power stations because the price was right. One is a Suaoki G1000 (discontinued) and one is a EcoFlow Delta 1300. I currently have a Jackery 290 and a Jackery 60W Solar Panel.

I would like to buy some new panels to further increase my ability to charge these devices via solar. So to summarize:

What Solar Panels and cables should I buy to charge the following 3 products:

  1. EcoFlow Delta 1300
  2. Suaoki G1000
  3. Jackery 290
Basically I just want to have a set of panels that I can use between any of these to charge depending on need. I only have the 60w Jackery Solar Panel at the moment so I'm looking to increase my capability.

Thank you

PS. The reason I picked up the G1000 and Delta 1300 is because together they came out cheaper than one EB240 even after all the discounts I could muster. I figured together they give me close to the watt hours between them and the higher inverter surge option. They seem like very different devices, but for my needs I thought they might get serve me. I really wanted an AC200, but my lack of patience got the better of me as those are out until November it seems.

Are you going to make us hunt down the specs?

Sorry about that. New to all this. Here is the details I located from the manuals. I think this is the necessary information

  1. EcoFlow Delta 1300: EFDELTA MPPT Controller guarantees faster recharge rate of solar and the wider compatibility with any solar panel: Open Circuit voltage(OCV): 10-65V/ 10A max, 400W Max Input. (MC4 to XT60 Solar Cable Included).


  2. Suaoki G1000: Per manual, capable of 150w max. Open circuit voltage should be between 14v 40v.

  3. Jackery 290. This one i am going to just keep with the 60w panels so pulling this off the list. The top two are the ones therefore I’d like advice on

    Thanks. Sources Added below.

There's your answer.

For the Delta 1300, you likely need 4 100W panels, 2 in series, 2 in parallel. Check that 2X the Voc on the panel is under 65V (likely around 2X 22V = 44V). Typical panels with MC4 connectors and parallel MC4 connectors should interface with the provided MC4 to XT60 solar cable.

For the Suaoki G1000, you need any 100-150W panel that has a Voc of 14-40V. Most panels in the 100-150W range will fall within that voltage. The trick will be getting panels connected to what looks like an Anderson connector. Can you provide a picture/link for the Solar Charging cable?

Thanks. At the moment both of the items are still being shipped to me so I unfortunately do not have the actual cables.

I have attached three pictures from the manuals or websites. The first two are from the EcoFlow manual and has pictures of the port and some schematics. The third picture is of the actual solar charging cable that is to be included with the Suaoki. Not sure if that is enough info or not, thanks for the

That cable adapts to MC4 connectors, so most panels should work.

thanks. If I may ask one stupid question.

If I have a 200w solar panel or 2 x 100w. And the g1000 can only take 150w, will it still function and just pull in the 150 it maxes out at?
 
The website says it's an MPPT controller, so the unit will ignore any excess amps. Any panel with a Voc in the acceptable range should be fine.
